The Antiquities Coalition’s latest policy brief examines the UK’s recent decision to repeal the EU Regulation on the Introduction and the Import of Cultural Goods (EU 2019/880) in Great Britain. 

Author Fionnuala Rogers argues that the repeal creates a gateway to Europe for illicit cultural property through Northern Ireland, where the regulation still applies, and that the UK must take immediate steps to mitigate that risk.

The paper makes a series of recommendations to encourage the UK to balance competing interests, meet its international commitments and take the role as a leading example for other art market countries in cultural heritage protection.
